Answer:

Explanation:

Your B-L Acid is a proton (Hydrogen, H+) donor, and your B-L base is a proton acceptor. This means that the base will take a hydrogen from your acid. NO2- is a B-L base, and you can tell it is a base by the negative charge it possesses. This means that it has a lone pair that wants to grab one of the hydrogens from NH4+, the B-L acid. In scientific words, the NO2- is a nucleophile and NH4+ is an electrophile. The result of NO2- grabbing that hydrogen from NH4+ is that NO2- becomes HNO2 (your conjugate acid) and and NH4+ becomes NH3 (you conjugate base). Basically, any time a B-L acid loses a proton, its equal product will be its conjugate base, and any time a B-L base gains a proton, its equal product will be its conjugate acid.

I hope this helped explain the concept behind Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases! Good luck with your class and please don't forget to give a positive rating! :-)

Fill in the left side of this equilibrium constant equation for the reaction of benzoic acid (HC_6H_5CO_2) with water.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

[C₆H₅COO⁻][H₃O⁺]/[C₆H₅COOH] = Ka

Explanation:

The reaction of dissociation of the benzoic acid in water is given by the following equation:

C₆H₅-COOH + H₂O  ⇄  C₆H₅-COO⁻  +  H₃O⁺    (1)

The dissociation constant of an acid is the measure of the strength of an acid:

HA ⇄ A⁻ + H⁺        (2)

K_{a} = \frac{[A^{-}][H^{+}]}{[HA]}      (3)

<em>Where the dissociation constant of the acid (Ka) is equal to the ratio of the concentration of the dissociated forms of the acid, [A⁻][H⁺], and the concentration of the acid, [HA].     </em>

So, starting from the equations (2) and (3), the constant equation for the dissociation reaction of benzoic acid in water, of the equation (1), is:

K_{a} = \frac{[C_{6}H_{5}COO^{-}][H_{3}O^{+}]}{[C_{6}H_{5}COOH]}

I hope it helps you!

A solution that is 0.20 m in hcho2 and 0.15 m in nacho2 find ph
Mashutka [201]
We are given
0.2 M HCHO2 which is formic acid, a weak acid
and
0.15 M NaCHO2 which is a salt which can be formed by reacting HCHO2 and NaOH

The mixture of the two results to a basic buffer solution
To get the pH of a base buffer, we use the formula
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - (pKa - log [salt]/[base])

We need the pKa of HCO2
From, literature, pKa = 1.77 x 10^-4
Substituting into the equation
pH = 14 - (1.77 x 10^-4 - log 0.15/0.2)
pH = 13.87

So, the pH of the buffer solution is 13.87
A pH of greater than 7 indicates that the solution is basic and a pH close to 14 indicates high alkalinity. This is due to the buffering effect of the salt on the base.

Is atmosphere nitrogen denser than pure nitrogen​
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Atmospheric nitrogen is not heavier than chemical nitrogen, largely because “chemical nitrogen” is ultimately derived from atmospheric nitrogen. On the other hand, you could be asking why the atomic mass of nitrogen is not the same as the mass of nitrogen gas; that's because gaseous nitrogen is diatomic, .

Explanation:

This is from Google.

Hope this helps :))
